“We are removing R. Kelly’s music from all Spotify owned and operated playlists and algorithmic recommendations such as Discover Weekly,” Spotify told Billboard in a statement.

“His music will still be available on the service, but Spotify will not actively promote it,” Spotify continued, adding that while they “don’t censor content because of an artist’s or creator’s behavior…we want our editorial decisions — what we choose to program — to reflect our values.”

R. Kelly’s management responded to the decision in a statement, telling PEOPLE in part, “R. Kelly never has been accused of hate, and the lyrics he writes express love and desire. Mr. Kelly for 30 years has sung songs about his love and passion for women. He is innocent of the false and hurtful accusations in the ongoing smear campaign against him, waged by enemies seeking a payoff. He never has been convicted of a crime, nor does he have any pending criminal charges against him.”

The statement continues, “Spotify promotes numerous other artists who are convicted felons, others who have been arrested on charges of domestic violence and artists who sing lyrics that are violent and anti-women in nature. Mr. Kelly falls into none of these categories, and it is unfortunate and shortsighted that Spotify fails to recognize this.”

Spotify has also removed XXXtentacion’s music from its playlists as part of their new policy. A rep for the rapper then reached out to Billboard, inquiring as to whether other artists with allegations of domestic and sexual violence against them would also be removed from the streaming service.

Spotify is wrong for what there doing to artist like R Kelly and xxxtentacion. There not even convicted of any thing.

In a statement, Time’s Up’s Women of Color subcommittee called on several corporations and venues to consider joining them including RCA Records — Kelly’s label — as well as Ticketmaster, Spotify and Apple Music.

Additionally, Kelly’s former ex-girlfriends Kitti Jones and Asante McGee have spoken out against the alleged abuse by the singer’s hand. In late March, Jones also claimed she was “physically, mentally, verbally, and sexually” abused by Kelly in a BBC Three documentary.
